Craft Night: Soap

There is  nothing like some good clean fun! Pun very much intended. These are actually pictures from a craft night we had nearly a year ago, but it was a fun and easy project so I decided to share.
The only supply I didn't already have at home was the glycerin. The soaps were made out of citrus zest, berries and herbs from my mom's garden and my refrigerator. Follow this link to learn how.

Ta-da!

Fashion Friday: The Girl With the Pearl Earring Edition

Today's outfit is inspired by this  work of art titled The Girl With the Pearl Earring created by Johannes Vermeer in 1665, outfit complete with earings and scarf (just not wrapped around the head).

Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!

All Stars

While many of you may not care even the slightest, I am overjoyed that Project Runway All Stars premiered last week on Lifetime.

I'm rooting for this pint-sized cutie from season 8, Mondo Guerra. I have to share some pictures of him and his designs because I'm a tiny bit obsessed. He rocks short shorts, bow ties, knee highs, suspenders, boots and amazing hats and hair styles all the time. I just can't keep my eyes off of him. His designs are full of color, pattern and texture and if I could get my hands on some of his looks I would totally wear them to Safeway (you know what I mean mom).

Fashion Friday: Star Wars Edition

Recently Kierra and I have been watching all the Star Wars movies and I was absolutely captivated by the clothing, specifically Padme's outfits. They were crazy, and made me wish I could dress as crazy amazing as her, but instead I will settle for something a little more subtle, and well, practical, and with a pop of red.

May the Force be with you!
